The decisions of ageing

Pages 205-212 | Received 09 Jan 2017, Accepted 03 Mar 2017, Published online: 06 Jul 2017
 

ABSTRACT

As people age, decisions are made about how we live and how we hope to die. This article encourages wise decision making and is based on the lived experience of the author. New Zealand research supports the notion that patterns of ageing may begin much earlier than is usually recognized. Personal sharing following the death of the author’s husband concludes this article.
